Skipped alot of Process and Slapped the Head on. Will redo on the Next Update with the Rebuild SETA with I Cam.

Installed Spark Plug Wires, Plugs, Oil Cap, and etc.

Installed new Timing Belt, Cover and Pulleys.

Almost Done

So then I decided to Fire it UP! Sounds SO MEAN!

So after that. I start filling up the radiator and getting it ready to bleed. Then I start it up to start the process and I got this

Came to found out that the Spray Bar was Clogged and Lash was done incorrectly During that time. I found out that the 855 head I have is not an I head but a SETA as it had a 4 Cam Bearing Cam. Below you can see there is only 4 oil passage.

After taking the Head apart. I inspected the cam and saw this.

I am picking up the head tomorrow after the mods that has been done 7 oil passage for 7 cam bearings. I will be installing the new I Cam, Rockers and Rod.

When I punch the gas really hard the gauge cuts out and comes back on. I am not sure what is wrong. The red wire that was hanging out I tap it to the distribution block on the passenger side by the firewall. Any thoughts?
